1 Cargo Handling Sheet Cargo Handling Sheets are for the use of vessels chartered by Shell Chemicals

2 Cargo Handling Sheet: Product Details Product Name: Shipping Name: Chemical Family: Product Code: Alkylene Oxides U1112 SDS: Physical Properties Density: Dynamic Viscosity: Vapor Pressure: 830 kg/m3 (20 C / 68 F) 0.58 mpa.s (20 C / 68 F) 25.1 kpa (0 C / 32 F) Vapor Density: 2 Boiling Point: 35 C / 95 F Melting Point: -112 C / -170 F Flash Point: -37 C / -35 F Appearance: Colourless to yellow oily liquid te 1: Physical Properties are for reference only and valid as of date of this revision; see loading terminal for specific properties. te 2: This product is a static accumulator. te 3: This product will polymerise at elevated temperatures 50 ºC / 122 ºF or if contaminated with water. Transhipment Prior to arranging transhipment, Charterers must agree to Owner s proposed plan Marpol Details Marpol Annex: II IMO Ship Type: 2 Inland Barge: IMO Pollution Category: Double Hull Y 2

3 Cargo Handling Sheet: IBC : IBC : Pre-Wash Required: Compatibility Group: USCG compatibility group 16 Cargo Handling Requirements N2 Purge Cargo Tanks Prior Loading: N2 Blanket Required: Adjacent Space Purge: Yes, PQ requirement; Max 0.5% O2, % N2 Purity, see tes below Yes, PQ requirement; Max 0.5% O2, % N2 Purity, see tes below Yes, to < 2% O2, including empty cargo tanks Loading Temperature Range: < 25 C / 77 F Transit Temperature Range: < 33 C / 91 F Discharge Temperature Range: < 33 C / 91 F Maximum Heating Coil Temperature: Blanked off Adjacent Maximum Cargo Temperature: 33 C / 91 F te 1: Reference should be made to the IBC code Section 15.8 te 2: may be carried in pressure tanks or in independent or integral gravity tanks. Cargo tanks of design pressure below 0.6 bar gauge carrying shall have a cooling system to maintain the cargo below reference temperature, unless waived by the Flag State as per IBC Code. When required, such cooling systems should consist of at least two cooling plants, each with sufficient capacity to maintain the liquid below boiling temperature at the containment pressure. Cooling medium should be compatible with propylene oxide. te 3: Vessels without cargo cooling system may be accepted for carrying PO subject to positive review of Owner s risk assessment by Shell Chemicals Charterer. te 4: If Nitrogen blanket is in place and Carrier chooses to tranship, carrier must reapply nitrogen blanket on the cargo, both on the discharging and receiving vessel, at their time, risk, and expense. te 5: PQ = Product Quality te 6: N2 Blanket Guidance, Reporting Temperatures and Pressures: a. O2 level in cargo tanks: 0.5% O2 b. Vessel to maintain a constant nitrogen overpressure of 20 millibars or more during the voyage c. Load Port Surveyor to record in survey report the type of cargo monitoring system and nitrogen replenishment system used onboard the vessel d. Vessel to keep a daily log of the following temperatures and pressures and send to the responsible Shell Chemical Charterer on a daily basis: 1. PO tanks: Temperature, Pressure and O2 content 2. Adjacent Cargo Tanks: Temperature 3

4 Cargo Handling Sheet: 3. Air temperature and Sea Temperature e. If at any time during the voyage PO temperature reaches 33 C / 91 F, the responsible Shell Chemical charterer should be notified immediately. f. Final Log is to be presented to receiver at time of discharge and a copy sent to responsible Shell Chemical charterer. Regional Requirements ne Tank Acceptance Requirements All nominated shipboard cargo handling systems are to be presented clean (residual free), dry, odor free, rust free, with good gaskets, fit to load this cargo. Maintenance of heating coils is to be verified in the ship s log. If product is to be heated, heating coils are to be confirmed leak free. If product is not heated, heating coils are to be blown clear and dried with N2, and blanked off. Stainless Steel or Coated Tank: Banned Prior Cargo: Wall Wash Required: Stainless Steel Nitric Acid, Ammonia/Ammonia Solutions, Amines/Amines Solutions, Caustic/Alkaloids Yes, by Cargo Surveyor Wall Wash Test: Specification Standard After Priors Hydrocarbons Pass ASTM D1722 All priors Chlorides < 1 ppm IMPCA All priors Color Test < 15 Pt/Co Max ASTM D1209 Veg Oils, waxes, heavy lubes, additives Permanganate > 40 min ASTM D1363 Inhibited priors NVM < 50 ASTM D1353 Veg Oils, waxes, heavy lubes, additives Safety Information and Incident Reporting Safety Information: For more detailed information, refer to the SDS or e-sds for reportable spill/release quantities whether in the water, air or ground.
